Here is what some key figures in the Teleco industry had to say about ETIS...

BT is looking forward to an active membership with ETIS especially during this exciting turning point in the Telecom industry." Mr. Sinclair Stockman, President of Technology BT Global Services
"It was a pleasure to host the ETIS Information Security meeting at our Telenor headquarters in Fornebu which features state of the art security.

Only ETIS can bring experts to share knowledge in a non-competitive way that benefits the industry as a whole." Bjorn Larsen, Senior Advisor Corporate Security
"ETIS is the ideal arena to discuss the IT business challenges facing our organisation with other IT practitioners in the Telecom industry. TDC is looking forward to an active membership with ETIS." Mr. Erling Madsen, IT Director of TDC

"ETIS has provided us with a wealth of knowledge and has helped us to enhance our insight into the Global Telecommunications industry. The Global ETIS Conference was a very relaxed and informal environment where many pertinent and pressing business issues were discussed in great detail by some of the industry's leading experts. Graham Technology looks forward to developing a long-term relationship with ETIS and contributing our experience of working with global telecommunication companies to this forum." Claire Milner, Business Unit Director Graham Technology

"BT uses information security as a business enabler as they use information security as a reason why people should go to BT rather than to a competitor. But at the same time, it is important that we as a serious Telecom supplier, share knowledge among each other about this important subject. ETIS is an excellence place to do that." Martin Roberts - Head of BT Security

"I would like to thank you and your colleagues once again your kind hospitality and professionalism you provided at the conference. I enjoyed the whole conference very much. I can tell you that most of the presentations and the discussions for sharing experiences were very useful and mean a lot value added to my work. It was my pleasure to meet you and to meet such nice people in Stockholm. I hope we keep in touch and I am looking forward for the next ETIS conference." Ms. Gondocs, Matav - IT Strategy
